The Binoculars work quite well for viewing sporting events. I got them for just under $40 marked down from about $80. Although they are a little heavy and bulky, they work very well and serve the purpose without having to treat them like fine china.
We use it for birdwatching and everytime we step outdoors. Perfect and great value for money
Not good for bird watching. No matter what I try, they just don't seem to provide a clear, distinct view. I purchased these with the intent of using for bird watching but they literally make me feel dizzy and green. Can't begin to imagine for sports. Seem abnormally darker than others I've used and never give a crisp clear view. On the other hand, they are by far more ergonomic than the old ones I owned, feel great, solid, nice set.but wish I'd kept my 30 year old set instead. Perhaps its my eyes. Unsure but they don't compare to 30 year old set.
They seem rugged and very solid, though I haven't done much with them. I bought these binoculars to watch the birds in my backyard but failed to do sufficient pre-sale research. I like the rubberized housing. Their nearest focus point is probably 50ft and their magnification is generally higher than you would want. So they are ill suited for my intended use, but that is my fault, not Bushnells.For viewing things further away they are fine. The one general complaint I have is that the rocker focus mechanism has too much give in it. You can rock it for a few degrees before it actually starts doing any focusing.
The binoculars were purchsed as a gift for my wife. She was thrilled with the quality of the optics, and the ease in which she can focus the binocluars, which is important to her bird watching hobby.Bushnell Powerview 16x50 Binocular
